Gilma is 45 years old, single, and lives with her three children in the canton of Ventanas in Los Ríos Province. She is a member of the Communal Bank "Bruniquilde", which is located in the neighborhood of Calabi in the canton of Ventanas. The members engage in farm work.
Gilma grows corn and raises chickens and pigs. She is requesting a loan in order to rent farmland for planting. Her purchases are conducted in the canton of Ventanas at the García commercial district.
Gilma's dream is to buy a plot of land for her crops so that she no longer has to rent. The challenge she faces is having to deal with crop diseases in her work. During her free time on the weekends, she enjoys spending time with her entire family at home.
